Peace and stability in South Sudan: Challenges and recommendations

Between July 2017 and February 2019, Saferworld – together with its partners – organised eight state-level roundtable discussions to identify peace and safety concerns and provide recommendations for strengthening community safety. The events brought together state-level and local authorities, heads of organised forces (military, police and national security), UN agencies, national and international NGOs, community-based organisations, community members, religious leaders, and youth and women leaders. This briefing presents the main findings of those discussions and outlines recommendations for national, state and local government and civil society for improving peace and stability in South Sudan.
